Affinity Capture-Western

An interaction is inferred when a bait protein is affinity captured from cell extracts by either polyclonal antibody or epitope tag and the associated interaction partner identified by Western blot with a specific polyclonal antibody or second epitope tag. This category is also used if an interacting protein is visualized directly by dye stain or radioactivity. Note that this differs from any co-purification experiment involving affinity capture in that the co-purification experiment involves at least one extra purification step to get rid of potential contaminating proteins.

Cholesterol depletion facilitates ubiquitylation of NPC1 and its association with SKD1/Vps4.

Niemann-Pick disease type C (NPC) is an inherited lipid storage disorder caused by mutations in NPC1 or NPC2. NPC1 is a polytopic glycoprotein that contains a sterol-sensing domain, whereas NPC2 is a soluble protein that contains an MD-2-like lipid-recognition domain. In the current study, we addressed the hypothesis that ubiquitylation of NPC1 might be regulated by cholesterol. We found that ... [more]

Co-localization

Interaction inferred from two proteins that co-localize in the cell by indirect immunofluorescence only when in addition, if one gene is deleted, the other protein becomes mis-localized. Also includes co-dependent association of proteins with promoter DNA in chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments.
